| 0:00.0 | Let me start with a confession. This podcast wasn't my first podcast. And honestly, it's one of the |
| 0:05.6 | most important reasons why this podcast has worked. Before the 100th all MBA show, we launched a podcast |
| 0:12.4 | called People Who Know Their Shit. Catch a name, fun idea, but unfortunately the podcast was |
| 0:18.4 | shit. We published 46 episodes and our best, which we featured Gary Vaynerchuk as a guest, |
| 0:26.4 | did a little over 400 downloads. |
| 0:28.8 | Now, for context, my average blog post at the time was getting more traffic, and our average |
| 0:34.2 | episode here on the 100 NBA show can hit over 80,000 downloads. So yeah, the podcast |
| 0:40.0 | sort of bombed. And Nicole and I were extremely frustrated because we're putting so much effort |

| 1:18.7 | This helps me and my team reach even more people who need the same no-fluff practical |
| 1:23.9 | business advice that you're getting from the show. |
| 1:26.4 | It only takes a few seconds, |
| 1:27.8 | but it makes a huge difference. Thanks for being a part of our journey to help others on their |
| 1:33.1 | journey. That podcast didn't work because we were trying to be something that we're not. |
| 1:39.3 | We were an interview show, and I was not good at interviewing, And we just did what everybody else was doing because |
| 1:45.7 | that's what all podcasts were like. There were all interview shows back in the day. Remember, |
| 1:50.4 | this is 2014 and I remember vividly going to this conference called New Media Expo in Las Vegas. |
